“They were fine”

Hannah S.
4/7/21

I read a lot of other reviews saying they were not real after I had already filed with them. I am going to call the IRS after work to confirm everything is offical. I filed for my EIN... just take the time and do it yourself at the IRS website to avoid the worry of having another party do it for you. They did get me my EIN number very fast with screenshots from the IRS.

“Scam. Beware”

I was told I needed an ein number. This is a free service on irs. Govfilings is at the top of google disguised as the government and takes your money for something you can do for free yourself. Please don't get scammed by these criminals. I emailed about getting my money back since I did not actually need the service and they will not return my calls. After doing research I found out this is a service that anyone can do for free on IRS.GOV Please don't be scammed by these crooks.

Please don't be scammed by these crooks.

Tip for consumers:
Please read ALL the fine print and NEVER use this service. All of their services are free on the irs site.

I will admit, I did find it a little pricey to get an application for my birth certificate, but at the end of the day, I actually received my birth certificate. So if you're willing to wait 4-6 weeks for it, it's honestly worth it.

In my opinion, these folks are simply crooks! They quote a price, force you to check a box with their no-cancelation policy, then they send you an email indicating they will mail a packet to order your birth certificate, with additional fees. This 2-step process is completely unnecessary, and the failure to disclose additional fees disgusting. Go to VitalChek! It's cheap and does not require all this nonsense. You will note from other reviews that this behavior of requesting additional fees later is common with these people.

We were charged double for our EIN. I have sent an email also would like one of the changes back today. I have posted a picture for proof.

Hi Ruby, keep in mind those are not charges, those are preauthorizations. There is a difference. For example, if there is a declined charge, that will still show as a pre-auth. Don't you think contacting us to help you would make more sense than leaving a negative review? You have not even contacted us. Please email us at orders@govfilingsonline.org so we can help.

All they do is send you the forms that are downloaded free over Government Sites and mail the form to you. You Do Not get anything but a free form for their fees. You will pay the State Fees and you will have to mail it in with the form which you will fill out as well. They tell you that they will file and using their service will get you the certificates you think you are purchasing but you quickly find out you were scammed.

The sole purpose of this website is to pretend to provide a service that makes passport renewal easier and charge you an exorbitant fee. You end up doing the same tasks that you do on your own, waiting several more days for mailing back-and-forth and dealing with the stress and confusion of an illegitimate service that is really a "non-service". As soon as you figure out that they don't cover your filing fee and that you've been ripped off, it's too late. They spend all their energy preventing you from getting a fefund and cleverly avoiding the long arm of the law. A true scam company!

I paid them for 2 services, birth certificate and passport paperwork. I had to reach out multiple times for both. I did receive the birth certificate paperwork which i realized I could of done it online for free. Then to top it off I never received my passport info, emailed many times asking for a refund and have not received my money or paperwork. Much better solutions and ways to get what you need.

Stay Away!
